"THE BEAUTIFUL SPRING CAME;  AND WHEN NATURE RESUMES HER LOVELINESS, THE HUMAN SOUL IS APT TO REVIVE ALSO."

I saw him at the PNE in Vancouver in the Seventies.  He was billed with two other performers, one of which was ill and did not come.  He did all her sets, as well as his own.  Security was a bit bent out of shape, as he had all the young people up on the stage dancing!
